I just got a notice that this thread was still going. Retirement is getting easier to handle. It's been a year and a half, and I haven't picked up any larger calibers since. The 7mmWSM is still one of my favorites....a factory model 70 with a light synthetic stock. A recent addition was a 700BDL in 7mmSTW. Not quite the Lazzeroni FireHawk, but close. Later.
